Michael Tidser
Michael Tidser (born 15 January 1990) is a Scottish former footballer, who most recently managed Scottish Championship club Dunfermline Athletic.
Tidser began his career with Celtic (featuring for Scotland at under-19 international level during his time there), before spending a short time in Sweden with Östersunds FK. He returned to Scotland for three seasons at Greenock Morton, making over 100 appearances. He next moved to English club Rotherham United. After spells on loan with Ross County and Oldham Athletic, Tidser returned to Morton in 2015 and remained until 2019, following which he had a short spell with Falkirk. In 2020 he signed for Kelty Hearts, being part of the team which gained two successive promotions, and became their player-manager in 2023. He joined Dunfermline Athletic in January 2025 but was sacked two months later.
Born in Glasgow, Tidser started his career with Celtic and was captain of the Under-19s before being released. He then signed a short-term contract with Swedish side Östersunds FK.
After his contract expired with Östersunds, he signed an 18-month deal with Greenock Morton.
Tidser made an impressive start for the club, winning the Young Player of the Month for March 2010. He was watched by Rangers coach Kenny McDowall.
In the 2010–11 season, Tidser scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 win over Partick Thistle. His impressive performances drew interest from Scottish Premier League's Kilmarnock and League One side Huddersfield Town, but no offers were made. On 12 February 2011, Tidser was sent off after a second bookable offence in a 1–0 loss against Falkirk; after the match, manager Allan Moore said he was disappointed with Tidser's action. In April 2011, Tidser signed a new three-year deal with Morton.
In 2011–12, Tidser started well, scoring his first goal of the season before providing an assist for Peter MacDonald to score the winning goal in a 2–1 win over Livingston on 13 August 2011. A week later, on 23 August 2011, he scored again and set up a goal for MacDonald in the second round of the Scottish League Cup, in a 4–3 loss to St Mirren. However, his early season was overshadowed with a knee problem. Following an operation, it was announced that he would be out for two months and expected to come back in December. Soon in mid-November, Tidser resumed training. Upon recovering from injury, Tidser spoke to the Greenock Telegraph, describing his absence through injury as "torture". In January 2012, after Stuart McCaffrey was ruled out for the season, Tidser was made Morton's team captain just after his 22nd birthday. On 20 March 2012, he scored his second goal of the season in a 2–0 win over Falkirk.
In 2012–13, Tidser had a good season with the club as they battled with Partick Thistle for promotion to the Scottish Premier League (Morton eventually finished second). On 6 October 2012 Tidser provided assists for Kevin Rutkiewicz and Mark McLaughlin in a 3–1 win over Partick. It wasn't until 29 December 2012 when Tidser scored his first goals of the season, with a brace in a 4–2 win over Dunfermline Athletic. That was followed up on 26 January 2013 when he scored in a 1–0 win over Raith Rovers. His next goal came on 23 February 2013 when he again scored against Dunfermline, with the same result as the previous meeting. On 16 March 2013, Tidser scored his final goal of the season in a 3–0 win over Dumbarton. During the season he also made several assists, and also scored five times in the Scottish Cup, including doubles against Albion Rovers and Turriff United. However, he suffered a groin injury that ruled him out for the rest of the season. He was nominated for the 2012–13 First Division Player of the Year, and won the supporters' club awards. In June 2013, Tidser was the subject of a £50k bid from Rotherham United, which was rejected in initially by Morton chairman Douglas Rae. A further bid five days later was accepted.
